January 25, 2010 10:40 PM 27 days to go

A whale of a day!

We went to our local big box home store to order a vanity for our downstairs bathroom. No big deal you say! Hah! It turns out that the price that is posted for the vanity and the sink that goes with it is no longer the price. It went up a few hundred dollars! As the clerk said "By law they have to sell it to us for the posted price" That's fine except for the fact that the computer system wouldn't allow them to order it at that price.

Now the fun starts. No one knows how to circumvent the computer and enter the floor sample price. We wait for 45 minutes while it seems that everyone in the store gives it a try - and fails! We even suggested that they sell it to us for the new price and give us a store credit for the difference. For some reason that neither my wife or I understood that was not feasible.

They finally told us to go home and await a phone call when they figured it out. We do and they do not 10 minutes after we get home. I go back to the store. The fellow rings up the sale gives me the receipt and I look at it and it's the wrong color! Now we have to void the sale and figure out how to get the right one ordered. This easily took another 20 minutes before they seemed to get it all figured out. What a day! Now we wait, cross our fingers, and hope that we get what we wanted!

Most of the rest of the day was spent looking for vanities on the web before we made our "big box" decision.

I'm not so sure that you all needed to hear our tale of woe but that was the day and, right now, there is really no news on the medical front. That's for Wednesday.

Meanwhile, we kind of jelled our plans for the room and I now have plenty of work to keep me going for a while.

It's fun...
